The Challenger Ridge Team
Our ownership group of six guys started with a vision in 2006 of making Challenger Ridge a destination vineyard and winery. The 65 acre farm sits on the shores of the mighty Skagit River and is planted with Pinot Noir. We offer many other wines sourced from Eastern Washington vineyards. We want to invite you to join our family of customers that call Challenger Ridge their own. These are our wine club members and the life blood of Challenger ridge. We have big plans for the property in the years to come. We invite you to come and enjoy this amazing place. We offer vineyard camping to a place to just sit and take in all the natural views.
